Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 399 Lack of manpower

   Weng and his son-in-law rode their horses to the horse tie post in front of the house. After getting off the horse, they tied the horse. Jian Zhenhua looked up at Jian Heng who was busy hanging the lantern.

"Where did these lanterns come from? They are very exquisite, not like what you can find in supermarkets here." Jian Zhenhua approached and found that the lanterns hanging under the eaves were rarely seen in China, so he was curious. He opened his mouth and asked.

  Jian Heng was busy here, and didn't notice that his father had returned. Hearing Jian Zhenhua's voice, he raised his head and glanced at his father: "I took it from Wu Yong's house."

   "It's nothing, why do you always accept other people's things?" Jian Zhenhua felt that his son's behavior was a bit wrong. Good friends are good friends, and it's not right to just get things from others from time to time like this.

Jian Heng explained with a smile: "I also sent some long things to others. Didn't the family slaughter sheep and pigs? I gave half of each fan to his family, and the remaining half was sent to He Ye's pasture went".

"Oh, so that's what happened." Jian Zhenhua didn't say much when he heard that it was coming and going, and was about to step into the house when he remembered something: "Everyone is on holiday for the Chinese New Year." , What about Xiaotuo, Xiaozhang, and Xiaohuang? You can’t confine them to the ranch after the Chinese New Year. They are working for us, not for us.”

Jian Heng heard that his father even cared about this, so he said: "I said, Dad, is your son like this? Let him go. During the few days of the Chinese New Year, I can work hard alone. The three of them It will be released tomorrow, anyway, there will be no one in the pasture tomorrow afternoon.”

   "They're all gone?" Jian Zhenhua was a little surprised when he heard that they were all gone.

Jian Heng nodded: "I originally thought that some people really liked the Chinese New Year, but now it seems that everyone wants to have time to have fun, no, as soon as Barley and Wheat announced it in the morning, none of the students signed up. Those who want to stay in the ranch, those of Chinese origin have all gone back, and the foreigners should go home. The remaining few girls said they would go to New York to play. When the Chinese New Year comes, only our family and Yao old man."

   "Let old man Yao come and live together at home!" Jian Zhenhua said.

   "Dad, it's up to you to say, Xiao Heng has already notified him, but the old man has a weird personality and didn't agree."

While the two were talking, Jian Anan came out of the house, still holding a few thin things in her hand, saw Yang Bin standing at the door, walked to her husband's side, and stuffed a piece of something in her hand It reached Yang Bin's mouth.

  Yang Bin took a bite and asked Jian Anan, "Ham?"

  Seeing Jian An'an nodded, he immediately thought about it slowly: "The taste is very good, much better than the taste sent by our unit!"

  Jian Anan also nodded, and said to Yang Bin: "It's okay to eat at home, but after eating this, I always feel that the taste of home is not right. Do you think your unit issued fake products?"

   "How is it possible!" Yang Bin immediately denied that they are government agencies, and they are sending out ham and fake products? How is that possible? Even if someone wants to fill their own pockets, it is not such a method. This is the worst way. Whoever lacks this IQ in the government department would rather make a false report than send it to everyone with fake products. .

   After thinking for a while, Yang Bin said: "Maybe the quality here is not good."

"Brother, we originally wanted to bring over the ham from your brother-in-law, but we heard from my mother that this is not allowed on the plane, so we didn't bring it." Jian Anan brought up her own ham, and lit Jian Heng casually. said a word.

  Everyone is just chatting, and there is no topic to talk about whatever comes to mind. Besides, why is Jian Heng's family missing a piece of ham.

   But Sun Xiuying who came out of the door happened to overhear these words, and she immediately condemned Jian Anan's behavior of sacrificing face without paying.

   "It's true, when you go back, send the ham to me, and your father and I will eat it for your brother," Sun Xiuying said.

  Jian Anan smiled awkwardly after hearing this: "When I came, I went to Yang Bin to send him to his parents' house. We won't go home for the New Year this year, so we have to prepare something for the old man."

   She pursed her lips, but Sun Xiuying didn't say anything else. At this moment, the two monkeys, Ning Ning and Xiao An, came back with sweat on their foreheads.

"Hey, these two leather monkeys are sweating from playing again. Hurry up and take a bath in the house, don't catch a cold." When Sun Xiuying saw her grandson and little girl came back, she suddenly felt better and put the annoying The eldest girl forgot about it, and hurriedly dragged two leather monkeys into the house.

  As soon as Ning Ning and Xiao An left, Pooh and Instant Noodles naturally wouldn't stay outside with a group of adults, and followed into the house, so the fat golden eagle that Pooh held in his mouth also entered the house.

When Pooh entered the room, he naturally let go, and returned to the fluffy carpet and lay down lazily. The sycophant of Instant Noodles would not even talk to the fat golden eagle. Sitting down on the carpet behind Pooh, leaning against Pooh's fleshy body, he began to doze off.

   "How much work is left?" Jian Zhenhua asked again.

Jian Heng looked at it and said: "Just hang it up here today, wait for the others to be hung up tomorrow morning, there are three left here, after the hanging is done, put the wires in and the light bulbs in and it's over." ...".

   When Jian Zhenhua heard that there was still a while, he stretched out his hand to help us get busy. With Jian Zhenhua's hand, as a son-in-law, Yang Bin couldn't live freely, so the three of them hung up the lantern together.

  Jian Anan saw that no one was talking to her anymore, so she turned around and went into the house, and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

  All the lanterns were hung up, and the dinner at home was put on the table. After washing their hands, everyone formed a table and began to have dinner happily.

After dinner, Jian Heng went back to the study to talk to Daniel about the case, and to prepare some materials. After a half-hour rest, Barley and Wheat started the eight-quantity exercise. Jian Anan and Sun Xiuying occupied After staying on the TV in the living room, as for Jian Zhenhua and Yang Bin, after taking a rest for a while, they continued to practice equestrianism with the spirit of practicing Sanjiu in winter and practicing Sanfu in summer.

  As for Xiaoan and Ningning, they continued to play wildly, and they didn't know where they went.

When Jian Heng came out of the study room, he realized that he was the only one with nothing to do, so he slipped around the house. Either his mother disliked blocking the TV, or he was driven aside by Barley and Wheat, so Jian Heng left the room and walked away. When I arrived at the door, I remembered that I hadn't visited my own farm for several days. I couldn't let the vegetables in the farm grow like this.

  Thinking of this, Jian Heng went to pick up the car, and then went straight to the farm.

When I arrived at the farm, I went straight to the sun room. After opening the door and entering, I found that the whole sun room was lush and green. Vegetables, melons and fruits were growing well, but it was so messy. The loofah climbed on the eggplant, Tomatoes bear too much and crush the plants, and then these fruits crush the small green vegetables in the next row. In short, there is almost no boundary between the slices.

The original neat sun room is now planted by Jian Heng, like a virgin forest. Many things are mixed together, especially things with long vines, such as watermelons, cucumbers, winter melons, etc. If you don’t pay attention to it I can't tell which is which vine.

   Seeing this situation, Jian Heng scratched his head: "I haven't been here for a few days, and this place has grown like this."

Even with the help of space water, fruits and vegetables have to be taken care of, otherwise they will grow into what they are now, and they will not look good at all. Let alone the tomatoes, most of them are red. There is another piece that has not been fully ripe and green because it fell to the ground and has not been exposed to the sun.

  You say that such a thing is not suitable for eating by yourself, let alone selling it.

   "Hey, I have to think about hiring some people in the beginning of spring." Jian Heng stood at the door of the sun room, looked at his messy sun room, and said to himself.

After reading this conservatory, and then looking at the two next to it, Jian Heng finally found some comfort. The other two conservatories are not bad, because these two mainly grow vegetables, such as potherb mustard. The pickles are all straight and not tall, so they still look neat and grow very gratifyingly.

  When thinking of hiring people, Jian Heng's brain can't help but get bigger again. Now it's hard to hire people around here.
